I Am Here

I Am Here - ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast

Anyway I get lunch set up

Labeling anything that'll go bad

With the date and time

I let the pants out for one of the pilots

Who's been enjoying our cooking

Make a balloon animal for a crying toddler

And then I check on Hannah

Leaving messages for anyone she can reach

I am here

I am here on an island

Hello

Hello it's me again

Yeah my son

He's with Rescue 2

Any news

I am his mother

I'm far away stuck here

I'm trying to find out if

Fine I'll hold again

I should be down there

And checking the hospitals

Putting up signs

Doing something instead I am

Here

I am here in Canada

I am telling you listen

My son he takes risks

He's not missing he's helping or hurt

He'll get out of this

Yes I keep trying

And yes here's the number

And yes at the Legion in Gander

I'll be right here

I should be there

When it's over and done

When he comes through the door and says

I'm home mom

I should be there for my son

But instead I am

Here

I am here

She leaves message after message

For her son

Until there's no more room on his

Answering machine

All I know

Is you are there

You are there

And I am here
